Once in my lifetime
I was a poor sight
So slow was I
That I thought I would die
I never knew how to smile
Therefore, people looked at me with spite
As if I had committed a crime
Though I always wanted to fight
I knew it was futile to try
For a long time
Life continued to be tight
Until I realized
That I had something inside
Suddenly I knew I could write
For once, I could do it right
And produce something nice
No longer was I slow like slime
I suddenly became very bright
And the world started looking at my life
With a different eye
Now I don’t have to fight
To be able to survive
All I have to do is write
And express my mind
Even when I don’t rhyme
They still believe I am right
Therefore, I have become a very bright light
That has emerged from a dark night.
